If you don't mind me asking, what did you learn about JavaScript that isn't freely available via Google?
Just curious.
Or to phrase another way, how did it help you learn JavaScript (assuming there's nothing on there that isn't public domain info).
Horses for courses and all that, and I'm interested to know what the benefit is.
Problem with learning by Google is that if you don't know javeScript can do a specific thing, how are you going to look it up?
The course goes over all aspects of javaScript so you know what to actually look up in Google in the future.
Ironically, my job is actually writing web based products (kind of).
I learnt javaScript (well jQuery really) on the job.
Just decided to do the course out of pure curiosity to see what I actually know vs what I don't.
A lot of it I did know but there was quite a bit I didn't (mainly because we have to use Internet Explorer (spit) which doesn't actually support the newer javaScript stuff).
The main thing is, it's a course by Academind. If it was anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered. These guys are awesome at explaining stuff programmer to programmer.
The other advantage is that you can ask the instructors questions and get a reply - well the good instructors will.
As I go along the course, I make notes in OneNote so by the end of the course, I have a reference document allowing me to look stuff up in a way that I understand.
And, i actually enjoy taking these courses!
I have done PHP, CSS, jQuery, AngularJs, Angular 2 and a few others, all of them purely out of curiosity (although we are moving to Angular 2 in the near future at work).
For £10/11.99 each, seems a bargain to me.
